Thnt Crnln of Snit , "The President's recommenda. tion favoring.a tariff commissioI1 should be taken with a grain 01 salt.-Republican Dec. 4. , . Why Bro. Amsberry ? 12-5 ! W received the above com lUunkation from a good republi. , I can and substantial citi.en : oj this city last week. It is witl pleasure tbat we/acknowledge t1t ( receipt. Wdnfer tbe good hrothel has been inclined to fall in witl the argument that has been go I ing in the east for some time it favor of taking the question 0 : tariff out of politics and put tbt - - - entire matter into the hands of a commission to be appointed for term of years or for life bj' the president , reprcscnting hoth political partics. Prc.idcnt t oose\'clt who is an able man and in the main correct is not infaU- able in judgement. Becam c a man is capable of holding thc highest position within the gift of thc American people it docs not prevent him from making mistakes. Presidents ha'c i 11 the past and the , } ' witt continue to do so ! as long as they are human. We ! may b ! wrong in our judgement I on the question of tariff but we. . gladly accept this opportunity of : ( living our reasons for the position - ' tion we have taken and sti11 . maintain that lithe presidents. recomm ndations favoring a taritT commission should be tal n.I I . with a grain of salt. " 'rhe republican - I publican party has mainfained I ' ) uccessfully for more than forty _ rears that prosperity is secured. . to the people of the nation through protective taritT , rather than from a tariff that has for its object revenue only. The operation of the laws providing a protective tariff bears out the soundness of the principle. At 110 time in the past ixt ) . years has the c.,2untry been under a protective tariff that the manufactures - factures did not enjoy a good business and were able to furnish employment to labor at renumer- ative wages. At the same time the farmer had a demand for his produce at fair prices , and all I departments of trade were active. Prosperity has been enjoyed in large degree by all classes. The reverse has been true in days when free trade laws prevailed - vailed Tariff for revenue not only depleted the national treasury - ury but brought financial ruin and missery to the masses. Striking illustrations are presented - ed under the administration of Uuchaunan in 1856 to 1860 and under Cleveland from 1892 to 1896. Should the question of tariff be left to a commission chosen from the republican and democratic parties at the best t1i ( rule that such a commissior would agree upon would be , compromise bet ween protcctiOl and free trade. For that reason we are oppose ( to tb question of tariff bein ! submitted to such a commission The republican party has prove I its ability to band1e the questiOl of the governments finances fo the best interests of the people when in power and has mad . such modifications from time t , time as the conditions required \Ve further b lieve that with th matter left wholy in the hands 0 l the chicf executive and congres5 such changes as may be best wiJ be more speedily effected b ) ' COIl gressmen who receive thei authority of the public than fror a commission appointed by th . chief executive and whose tcmur of officc is for a term of twent : 1 or more years.
